Life to a Soundtrack

Anyone who knows Earl and I knows that we have a music library that combined takes up half our house (only rivaled by our book collection). We both love music and in fact I believe that was something we connected on early in our friendship/relationship. Earl has always lived his life like it was based on a soundtrack and I never realized how music could evoke such emotion and memory until I began Isabel's collection of music. Isabel's collection is a hodge-podge of music I have bought her since before she was born and my own mother's loving and clumsy attempt to preserve the records of my childhood on her computer and cd. I have played some of this music for her already and find myself lost in an attempt to remember how I felt and what I did when I heard this music as a child. I wonder if she will remember anything from hearing this music now and how much she has enjoyed it. I am so excited that she is so in tune with music and even more that Earl and I will have the opportunity to infect her with our personal love of music! As you read this blog I hope you enjoy a little taste of some of our favorites from our collection. There is a little something for everyone in our musical tastes!
